someone will still need to keep you honest, though

I think he might re-sign before hitting FA at $9m/year (???)

I was getting the "I want to see what the market has to offer, I'm definitely testing FA" message last season with him, huh.

Unless they changed the code on their last update, FA comments before budgets are set are literally 100% unreliable.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

So the HoF has 1st ballot locks in Levrault, Bleier and Stearns, plus pitchers like Surkamp, Hunter, Cordero, Hansen (who might be stuck in purgatory at this point)...list is getting crowded

Fortunately, the people found a mighty Rosenthal, called Trevor.

I don't need to trade Ivan DeLeon, but I have two prospects who can play shortstop and will develop into all 80+ defensive ratings this year so let me know today if you want to acquire him and structure his deal yourself. Asking 5M per for 3 years.

edit: he's probably going to be 10-5 and could veto a deal so I'm offering him terms I'd want to keep instead but he's still available!

Just a reminder to all the new people to make sure to ask questions and preferably find someone to show you the ropes, along with making sure to check the new owners guide (why don't we have a new thread??). Already seeing guys extended for less than 5 years in arb 1 and it makes me sad :(

Did not expect Jimmie Garces to re sign but glad to see it, he's still worth $4m at his age

Speaking of which let me know if anyone wants wrote access to this. It probably needs some updating for draft/ifas now.

Stupid Newbie question:

I need to sign coaches/managers, and apparently I have none currently?



Is my team a renamed version of the Helena team in my division last year, or essentially a brand new expansion franchise?

I think swords are neat. Do you think swords are neat?!
essentially, all coaches work off one year contracts. all your coaches from last year will be listed in the "rehire coaches" area and you can re-sign them by checking a checkbox, as long as they have a green icon
